This year the Special Education Department once again planned to host the annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Freetown-Lakeville Middle School. Approximately 75 students, parents, teachers and staff attended. The event was to take place on Tuesday at the Freetown-Lakeville Middle School. Students and staff all pitch in for a coordinated effort to make this event another great success. Some of the main tasks included: Petitioning local businesses for support with food items, supplies, gift cards, etc.; students and staff visiting and collaborating with businesses; making invitations and "Thank you" cards; designing and preparing decorations; setting up; cooking, serving and seating. We also had students prepare speeches and make them at the dinner.

Teachers and staff who help organize and facilitate this event include: Ms. Deane (and Mr. Deane), Ms. Welch, Ms. Schiff, Ms. Levin, Mr. Connell, Mr. Gallagher, and Mr. and Mrs. Pimental, as they have all contributed their time and/or donations to make this such a special event.
